Chapter 3

The instructor couldn't help but laugh, pointing at me and saying, "Is it that bad? I think this guy looks quite spirited!"

"Anyway, I think he's ugly," Lin Ke'er's expression was calm and cold.

"Alright," the instructor had no choice: "Then can you turn around?"

Lin Ke'er didn't give me any face, turning around without hesitation, just as cruel as I was two years ago.

"Stop laughing, stand up straight!"

The instructor stopped everyone's laughter, and the scene became quiet again. But I knew everyone's attention was still on me. I felt numb, having long since put my pride aside. I looked at Lin Ke'er's back, thinking that I would repay her in kind and not apologize. From now on, we would be even, owing nothing to each other.

Finally, it was time for a break. I was about to call Monkey when I saw the long-haired guy and his friends coming over again.

"Kid, I heard you told me to be careful?" The long-haired guy smiled.

I knew Ma Jie had tattled on me, so I turned around and glared at him fiercely. Ma Jie was also smiling, even giving me a "V" sign. I knew it was too late to call, so I had to make a big scene. Monkey would come over if he saw from another class. So I shouted, "What if I tell you to be careful?!"

This loud shout startled even the long-haired guy, and all the students looked over. Lin Ke'er, standing not far away, saw it too. I thought, with such a loud voice, Monkey must have heard it, right?

"Damn, you're pretty bold, huh?" The long-haired guy kicked me.

I recalled Binzi's fighting moves, grabbing his leg with one hand and pulling him forward, making the long-haired guy fall to the ground with a "Ouch." I quickly pounced on him, but before I could hit him a few times, his subordinates dragged me away. The same scene from the morning and noon repeated, and I was beaten and kicked to the ground by them.

I was beaten in the morning in the teaching building, at noon in the dormitory, and in the afternoon on the playground, all by the same group of people.

I guess I was the first to lose face to this extent?

Through the gaps, I saw many people gathering around, even the instructors pointing and talking. I thought, make a scene, the bigger the better. Monkey, hurry up and come over, I can't hold on much longer.

"Long-haired guy, I f*** you!" My voice was loud enough for the whole playground to hear.

Monkey should have heard it by now, right? Why hasn't he come?

"Enough!" A voice suddenly rang out.

The long-haired guy and his friends stopped, and I lay on the ground, panting.

"Ke'er, are you going to plead for him?" The long-haired guy smiled.

"Enough, what do you want to do to him?" Lin Ke'er's voice was still cold.

I looked around, a large circle of people, but I couldn't see Monkey.

"Hehe, since you're pleading for him, I'll give you face." The long-haired guy had shown off enough, snapped his fingers, and left with his group.

"Look at what, go back, go back!" The instructors finally spoke.

Lin Ke'er didn't even look at me, turning and walking to the tree.

I slowly got up, and the instructor said, "You're useless, go rest on the side, don't participate in the training later."

Many people were still looking at me, and I didn't care about my pride anymore. I walked towards Class 5, wanting to ask Monkey why he didn't come to help me.

As I walked, many people pointed at me, everyone had seen me being beaten. I didn't care about my face anymore; at this point, I had nothing left to lose. I had two choices now: die or take revenge.

I walked to the front of Class 5, all in camouflage, and couldn't find Monkey. I asked directly, "Where's Monkey?"

Everyone looked at each other, probably not knowing who Monkey was. Someone said, "What do you want with him?"

"I have something to talk to him about."

"He went to the internet cafe, go find him there."

Monkey wasn't there at all, no wonder he didn't come over despite the commotion. I was a bit angry, we agreed that he would help me find the long-haired guy in the afternoon, why did he go to the internet cafe? How could he do this to me?

But I calmed down and walked to the side of the road to call Monkey. What could I do, I needed his help!

I called a few times before someone answered, the background was noisy.

"Who is it?"

Monkey didn't even save my number! What kind of friend did Binzi introduce me to?

I suppressed my anger, "It's me, Zuo Fei."

"Oh, it's you. I'm at Feilu Internet Cafe, come over and bring me a fried noodle!"

The call ended. My hand was shaking. Since coming to this school, everything felt so out of place, like falling from heaven to hell. I brought a fried noodle and went to Feilu Internet Cafe.

The internet cafe was chaotic, and I found Monkey after looking around. He was wearing big headphones, his hands moving quickly, and cursing non-stop, "F***, this idiot can't even jungle! The two idiots in the bottom lane, stop feeding!"

I sat down next to him, putting the fried noodle aside. Monkey saw me and waved, signaling me to wait.

Monkey opened the food box, eating and playing and cursing, cursing everyone in the game, one moment cursing this person, the next cursing that person. But it was normal in the internet cafe, so he didn't stand out.

After a while, I couldn't hold it anymore, "The long-haired guy is causing trouble for me again."

I didn't say he beat me, I still wanted to keep some face.

Monkey didn't turn his head, "How is he causing trouble... Mid lane, you idiot? Can't roam?!"

I shouted, "He beat me in front of all the freshmen, it's the third time today!" I finally lost my face.

Monkey was stunned, then took off his headphones and stood up, "Let's go!"

I also stood up.

Monkey just pushed his chair, looked at the screen, and operated a few more times, looking hesitant, "Can't let down my teammates. This way, go back to school and wait for me at the playground entrance, I'll be there in ten minutes!"

I nodded and left the internet cafe, returning to school. They had already started training, so I sat at the playground entrance waiting.

Many students could see me. I thought, watch, watch how I take revenge!

I believed Monkey, who dared to take on this task, must have some skills.

After ten minutes, Monkey didn't come.

After an hour, Monkey still didn't come.

The military training team had rested twice, and Monkey still didn't come.

The sun slowly set, and I buried my head in my knees, not wanting others to see my tears.

I knew Monkey wouldn't come, even though he was introduced by Binzi, we were still strangers.

I sat there foolishly, not knowing what to do next. I wanted to take revenge, but I had no strength, no allies, and couldn't even beat the long-haired guy, let alone the so-called Ninth Prince behind him.

The sky gradually darkened, and the military training team dispersed. Groups of students passed by me, some pointing at me, "That's him." "Beaten several times a day." "What is he doing here?" "Is he beaten stupid?"

The crowd gradually dispersed, the playground became quiet, with only a few students left.

"Hey, that idiot is here!" A voice suddenly rang out.

I looked up, and it was the long-haired guy and his friends again. I stood up reflexively, trying to hide.

A few students laughed and surrounded me, seemingly wanting to have fun with me.

"Enough, enough," the long-haired guy stopped them, "Don't target him anymore."

I was stunned, thinking this bastard had reformed.

"We have to give Lin Ke'er some face," the long-haired guy looked pleased, as if something was worth celebrating, "Besides, if it weren't for him, how would Lin Ke'er agree to my date? I should thank him!"

"What? Lin Ke'er agreed to Brother Kun? I didn't know that!"

"You know nothing, Lin Ke'er came to Brother Kun in the afternoon, asking him not to cause trouble for this kid anymore. Brother Kun then asked Lin Ke'er to have dinner with him, and she agreed without hesitation!"

"Ha, that's how it is, I didn't expect this kid to be useful..."

Their voices gradually faded away, and my body started to tremble.

I wasn't afraid, but angry, furious, enraged.

Lin Ke'er agreed to this bastard's date to help me!

I didn't have time to analyze Lin Ke'er's psychology, like why she hated me but still helped me. I only knew that if I was a man, I shouldn't let this happen!

Monkey was no help. He borrowed money from me, made me bring him food, and then sent me away, clearly not sincere about helping me. I picked up a brick, went to the school gate, and found a dark spot to sit and wait.

In junior high, Binzi once chased a dozen people with a brick. I didn't expect to be as brave as him, but I hoped this brick could knock out the long-haired guy. As for the consequences, who cares, I didn't have time to think about it!

I held the brick in my hand, eyes fixed on the school gate. It was dinner time, some people were going to the cafeteria, others were leaving the school. The long-haired guy would take Lin Ke'er out for dinner, so he would definitely leave the school, I knew that much.

After a while, I saw Lin Ke'er and the long-haired guy come out.

They were too far away to hear what they were saying, but I could see the long-haired guy was very happy, talking non-stop. Lin Ke'er looked cold, seemingly very reluctant to walk with the long-haired guy. When the long-haired guy got excited, he tried to put his arm around Lin Ke'er's waist, but she pushed him away mercilessly.

They gradually got closer, and their voices became clearer.

"Ke'er, I'm telling you, you have to get drunk tonight, or you're not giving me face!"

As they walked past me, I suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Long-haired guy, I f*** you!"

Then I hit him hard on the forehead with the brick.
